A Framework for Enhancing the Supply of Scientific Research Projects Using Blockchain

Abstract

Today's the scientific projects and corporate environment is more demanding than ever before. to satisfy the increasing demands of scientific research projects procurements by e-commerce applications are increasing their markets and functionality. Hackers can use security weaknesses in most applications to launch attacks. Information integrity, confidentiality, and availability have all been compromised as a result of the attacks. This paper described the current state the scientific research projects procurements and proposed a framework to enhance the procurement of scientific research projects to rationalize government spending by increase security and transparency of transactions using blockchain technology. A proposed framework consists two architectures. First architecture contains a conceptual architecture discuss a life cycle workflow for scientific research projects procurement application and a payment gateway for financial transactions. In the second architecture declare the layer's architecture to explain the role of each element in the layers and represent the blockchain architectures and transactions between researcher, supplier, and system admin using Smart contracts and cryptocurrency to overcome of weak security in financial transactions. and improving satisfaction, trust through transparency, preventing transactions counterfeit and sharing and reusing knowledge related to the project procurements with other systems.
